Good price
When we adopted our dog from a shelter, this was the food he was on so we didn't want to disrupt his belly any more than it already was coming home to a new place
When we adopted our dog from a shelter, this was the food he was on so we didn't want to disrupt his belly any more than it already was coming home to a new place. We will continue to feed him this formula until he turns 1. Good product, puppy loves it.
Spencer
I like that it’s a more healthy product for my dog. Spencer does eat it and seems to like it. He definitely did not like the Lamb variety.

Our dogs love this puppy food as look great on it.
We have used this food for all 6 of our adults and we had a litter of pups back in June and the puppies love it and get very excited for it at meal time. Our Boxers
We have used this food for all 6 of our adults and we had a litter of pups back in June and the puppies love it and get very excited for it at meal time. Our Boxers look great and have whiney coats and no skin issues and the vet we go to has constantly said how great the pups are doing and how good they look. We used to feed Purina One and then one of our new dogs started to get an upset belly from it. And it stopped once they transitioned to the Blue foods and 5 years later thats all that we feed them and they love it when on the other foods they would try and hide the food and at times the bowls as well. Thats very telling for us when one of the dogs subs a bowl of kibble. So we do not use that brand that they are rejecting and they have not rejected the Blue in the 5 years they have been eating it.

I have 2 dogs. 1 - healthy very normal 9 month old puppy, that can and will eat anything. My other dog however, is very thin (as he is VERY active), fussy about what he will eat and has intolerances to several grains. He too is young at just 18 months. I have been looking for a food that is not grain free and yet will take care of both dogs needs. So, far this Blue Buffalo has been helping.
